The lodge was good too, the staff was friendly, food was ok, it was a bit noisy to be in a room by the pool but there was no option to select the room location on Expedia. Inside it was a bit dated and there were bugs (but it is in the wilderness so hard to keep them out). There were elephants coming almost to the restaurant which was amazing to see them right there. The entire idea to put this lodge at edge of the park is brilliant, it was a great experience overall ##### Elena Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Claudia 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property with an excellent Spa. The only thing we didn't like was the Safaris. The drivers were rude, not willing to stop to see the animals, and did not explain anything interesting. Just drivers, but not guide,s and it's better to do self-drive safaris ##### Claudia Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle B 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved my stay.

The staff are happy and friendly. We were lucky on our afternoon game drives we saw lots of animals. The morning game drive was very quiet, probably due to the cold weather conditions. The buffet was well catered for. The room was very comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend this property.

The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Our flight from Cape Town was delayed by several hours so we arrived at the lodge close to 10pm. Not only did they respond to my email quickly to reassure me that the late check-in would be no problem, but the receptionist quickly guided us to the restaurant as soon as we arrived, as the kitchen was closing and she wanted to make sure we had something to eat before bed. The chef was about to leave for the night, but she stayed to accommodate us. We were so grateful and assured her anything that was quick and easy to make would be perfectly fine with us, and not to trouble herself more than necessary. She asked if pizza was okay and we said that would be perfect. Well… she ended up making us a beautiful salad, a pizza, large bowls of pasta and a tray of desserts! Totally above and beyond all expectations and everything was delicious. The restaurant staff stayed to serve us as well and were very kind. We also happened to get a room upgrade, as the standard rooms were oversold which was a nice bonus. We are so grateful for everyone’s thoughtfulness and extra kindness and hospitality during our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5fbff10f-8caf-4611-92b2-d613347eba8c-1754862752719.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce61e425-b489-419e-b6c6-906d5afbb1db-1754862752331.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sydney Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shay 15 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place ##### Shay Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The set up of the lodge is like a center parcs style safari stay. It may be pricy but if you factor in the game drive and half board, it is actually quite reasonable. The safari trips were excellent with the driver/guide providing excellent knowledge. We absolutely loved the bush braai with African entertainment. The room was amazing with everything we asked for provided with plenty of space. Lovely swimming pool and the view of the watering hole is second to none. ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dion 20 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice place to stay.
